The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2011
Interview
I got a call from the Amazon guy. He asked me to join an online meeting and write a program to find factors of a number.
I asked him if there could be -ve numbers, he said no, but that is a good question. I wrote the program which worked fine and then he asked me to develop test cases.
After that he asked me basic questions about Data Structures mostly Hash Tables and collision resolution.
I was not selected even though the interview went well :(
Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
